"Rise" from Valdis Story: Abyssal City

This bit of orchestral work is fabulous.  The programming is very well done, and your use of dynamics are part of what makes this piece stellar.  This shows a great knowledge of orchestration that is sometimes missing when others do it.  Congratulations, and welcome to the forum.  I'll be back for more listens.

Outstanding productions skills. Welcome to the Forum. Hope you will post more. - Shad

Lynn, Chasmcg: Thank you. :)

foxwolfen: Thanks. I do plan on posting more at some point, just have to... work on more... been kind of lazy this past month.

Rimshot: Thanks. The title screen is from the game, had the artist work that up, and the piano roll deal was done using this thing called "MIDI Animation Machine". Just took the project file and saved it as a MIDI file, then opened the MIDI file up within MAM while Fraps was running, armed it to record, and then hit play. After it's done recording I open up the video in Adobe Premiere, trim it up, add the title screen, and sync the audio from the track with the first highlighted note. Then just render the video after that. If any of that doesn't make sense let me know and I'll try to be a little more... clear. Adobe Premiere from CS2 is actually a free download btw, not sure about forum linking rules for other software so won't post the link, but you can find it pretty quick using google I think. MAM is completely free too, and has other options for the animation aspect of it. Fraps has a demo mode, but only lets you record small bits, but if you shell at like...$35 you can purchase it to do desktop recordings. Fraps is the only thing I've found that can record at a high enough frame rate to turn out nice. Everything was just kind of choppy.

Anyway, thanks again for all the kind words. Greatly appreciated. :)
